easy service

Super easy service to use, delighted to have a way to recycle medicine blister packs! The small has easily taken a few months worth of blister packs

Fantastic!

Really pleased with how easy it has been to recycle items that we felt terrible about sending to landfill. The bag arrived quickly and instructions on how to return were clear and easy to follow.

Easier than expected

Bag arrived quickly. Return process very straightforward and loads of drop off points nearby. Just got my second bag

Arrived promptly ready to recycle my blister packs

Medicine packaging

We use our small bag for empty pill packets such as paracetamol. It’s quite surprising how quickly they accumulate over the year and it’s nice to know that they’re not being sent to landfill. I would recommend them as it’s an easy win!

Hopefully helping in a small way

I recycle at home and I like to think I am doing great but the items going into the general black bin bother me so we started to save the medication blister packs as I thought we could recycle at a large high street pharmacy but no ! I decided to purchase a bag and although I did think it was expensive I wanted to do better. So we have the medium sized bag and it’s nearly full and ready to be sent back.
It would be a great idea that we could recycle all the things that can’t go in the bin at a centre with a small charge as one bag with one item is good but I could not afford to get multiple bags so I could do more but money does not allow it. So we will have one or maybe 2 bags for now.
I think it’s a fantastic idea just wishing it was more cost effective.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for making the effort to recycle more at home. We really appreciate your support and feedback, it’s great to hear you’re already filling your first bag! ♻️😊

Easy to use

I’ve had many zero waste bags now and i find them very easy to use. Drop off at inpost has been uncomplicated and I’m happy to know my rubbish is being diverted from landfill.

Bigger is a win win

Have used the small version and impressed with how much it held. Decided to go larger this time around to reduce the number of car trips to send them in. Double win for the planet.

Medium Zero Waste Bag

THis is the second Zero Waste Bag we have had and it is great for collecting our pill packets. WE always felt we should be able to recycle them and now we do. THe order process (once you have decide which bag/ box is right for you) is simple and arrives qiuckly. The return of the full bag went without a hitch. It was good to get confirmation that it had been received too. Allround a very positive thing to do.

Saves waste to landfill

A great way to safely dispose of pill packaging without just throwing it in the general waste

Huge capacity

I had been stockpiling blister packs before ordering a bag but it is only half full. Will be able to carry on filling it for some time before it is full. Great way to dispose of them.

Large bag

Large bag is very large. We're collecting medication blister packets as we get a lot between us.

Great so far

Very expensive but such a good idea. We get through lots of medical blister packs. We haven’t filled the bag yet so we haven’t tried the return process but the reviews are all good.

Very convenient

I have used these bags for over a year now and they make recycling unusual materials very easy. I will continue to use them going forward!

Bringing the community together

Since the first bag I purchased, I found neighbours & friends very supportive in helping me fill it!
I’m nearly ready to buy another bag, because the current one has filled quicker than previous ones. More & more friends of friends are getting involved - all very keen to keep blister packs out of landfill.

Thank you so much for sharing this!
We love hearing how your neighbours and friends are getting involved, it’s amazing that your bag filled up even faster this time! The growing support to keep blister packs out of landfill is exactly what this is all about.
We’re so grateful to have you as part of the movement
